Manatees!!

When we went to Homosassa Springs Nature State Park
in Florida,
I hoped one thing.

That we would see Manatees.

And I was thrilled
that
it
came true.

Of course they were wayyyyy
under water.

So, I didn't know if I could get good photos of them.

But it was like angels were listening.

As soon as I went over to a little bridge, one came right up under me.

Up close and personal.

And I swear....
he looked into my eyes and lens.

If I could of, I would of jumped in and kissed him
and
played with him.

But they have rules against that kind of thing.

Dang.


Just LOOK at him!:





Look at his pudgy-smudgy cutie pie face!:






Yet, they are such huge, gentle creatures!:







He just kept splashing and going under and then coming up right under the bridge
and looking at me.
I was in LOVE!:







OMG..do you SEE those itty bitty nostrils peeking up from the water?
I swear I giggled and he giggled back.
I think
I have
a
new
BFF
